Russia bout to be on top y'all

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

IN the far north of Siberia, Russian scientists have stepped up research on a once-secret deposit of diamonds whose scale dwarfs anything ever discovered.

The deposit contains not the precious diamonds but the industrial strength "impact diamonds" that could be used for deep-sea drilling or forging finely delicate machine parts.

i think the impact diamonds referenced are also known as space diamonds, which are generally more valuable, though this much is uncertain, im not an expert on diamonds.

"Pokhilenko said that the diamonds owe their unparalleled hardness to enormous pressure and high temperatures at the moment of explosion when a giant meteorite hit 35 million years ago, leaving a 100-kilometer (60-mile) crater."

"They only examined 0.3 per cent of the entire territory of the crater and had already established 147 billion carats worth of (industrial) diamonds. So we are talking about many trillion (carats)," said the scientist.

those provide a good summary..full article -

Aren't these Russian scientists the same ones who drilled down to that ancient lake in Antarctica (That was millions up millions years old)?

I'm telling you, Russia is going to bring all those damn sci-fi horror films to life.

they are just chillin in the cut right now for the most part...letting china and the us destroy each other and collapse the financial system, and then they will just back their currency with these diamonds and shyt on everyone.

their tech is under-rated, as is their ability to be covert.

so they didn't use this to save the Soviet Union?

are you sure they arent doin that now

they didnt have the technology back then to mine it, and they still are a little bit aways from utilizing it..but the discovery of the vast amount is just to the global power situation and future economical ramifications..

Americans should collectively stop buying diamonds right now

Diamonds are not rare. They really are worthless. They only have value because the global supply is tightly controlled. Let's say the Russians dump all of these diamonds on the market. Diamonds would be worth less than Z1's. If they don't, if would take hundreds of years of restricted release for them to sell all of those diamonds.

Well, if Russia floods the market with diamonds, that will be interesting.

It would be great

Prices plummet, no more blood diamonds, shallow people would have to find a new way to feel superior

There would still be "blood" diamonds but DeBeers wouldn't care because their real threat is Russian diamonds which they would label as "illegal space blood hell death" diamonds.

I'm sorry, brehs, but this thread is dumb as hell from the topic title all the way down. I'll just pretend you guys were writing speculative fiction though.

I was under the impression that these diamonds were actually rare and served a real purpose

yeah they seem to be used for tools and other industrial applications
